Lately I switched from Firefox to Chrome. Here are some of the extensions that I recommended:
- ScriptNo extension filled in for the Firefox Noscript. Another good extension is
- Cloud Save for saving images and files to your cloud storage (Google Docs, Sky Drive supported)

What you have to do is to move the main mail folder and the local folders to the new machine. In my case, the main mail folder was D:\Mail and the local folders was D:\MailArchive\. Here's the steps.
1. After installing Thunderbird, create new account.
2. Go to Tools/Account Settings/Server Settings and change the local directory to D:\Mail. This is where your incoming mail will be stored. You will also get the existing mails and structures from the folder D:\Mail that you copied over. Nothing lost.

3. Then change the directory for the local foders.

4. The location of Address Book is fixed to C:\Users\\AppData\..Profile...\. You have to manually copy it over. There are 2 files, abook.mab and history.mab. You can change the .js script but it's too troublesome I think.

That's it. All mails including folders structure are smoothly migrated. This is why I love Thunderbird.

For iPod: Just need dock and this one (Audioengine A5 powered Speakers). In Thai, buy here http://www.enjoyyourmusic.co.th Got a lot of mentionings and reward from WhatHiFi.

For PC system: Going to try Class T amplifier, TrendsAudio TA-10.2 with high sensitivity speakers, perhaps Klipsch. Polk Audio should also be OK. Read this http://bookshelf-speakers-review.toptenreviews.com/ when you want to buy speakers. This amplifier is not too expensive. You can buy from http://www.trendsaudio.com directly. It accepts paypal. This one is very famous. 6moons and many others review it. Got to try this one.

After performing according to this http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55373 and wait for about 3 hours, everything worked as expected. I will start using blogger from now on to align with all other google services I used, saving me 2,000 THB a year from hosting wordpress blog on dedicated host. Blogger does not charge for the domain mapping either.

Some people do not like the navigation bar at the top of blogger, you can add this to the template

#navbar {
Display: None;
Height: 0;
}

Also in the Settings/Publishing, I checked the box redirect greatnote.com to www.greatnote.com since blogger now does not allow mapping naked domain to blogger web any more. The template I used is "Simple" with a little bit of customization.
